The mouse fires, but as shotguns have a shorter range than rifles, his blast misses. You fire three shots (and now have 178), bringing down the second Bolian. The other one closes the Space Lift and it goes up. Now your squad needs to go up the Space Lift and kill the Bolian before he can reach the control room (which he will probably do).
